Love: Trust Your "Gut" Called God

Some of us have been torn to pieces by "love" that we no longer want to take the risk. We get wrapped up in the "what ifs" of possible heartbreak that we can't really open ourselves up to someone worth the chance. I've always loved this Peter McWilliams quote (above) because it reminds me that I've always felt Love to be a risk worth taking. Those are the most important "what ifs"! What if he/she is the one? What if God finally sent me my other half? What if this could be another experience preparing me for the love of my life? It might not work out "ah, but what if it does"!

Then there's the other side to love... Not wanting to let go. Even if you know you should. 

If there is one lesson I've lived and learned when it comes to love it is, Trust. Your. Gut... Er, God. I know what you're thinking. That statement is easy enough to say, but difficult to do. I promise you it will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be right. HE will always be right. You might be thinking, "I get so confused by what my 'gut' is telling me." I'm sorry to tell you, you're wrong. You always know what your gut is telling you. The "confusion" comes from not wanting to listen. God gives you all of the signs and the knowledge to know if the person you're with is right for you. It might take a little while to really see or hear it, but He will present it to you. Then the choice is yours to make.

The most important thing to remember is to always stay true to who you are and who God wants you to be. If you can manage that, the right person will be easier to find. Yeah, most of us have to learn the hard way, but its WORTH it. I spent years beating myself up over giving or not giving love a true chance because I always look for the best in people. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt. I want to give them a chance to change. Let me tell you, one chance is enough. If you're not worth changing for after strike one, you STILL won't be worth it after the fiftieth chance. Trust me. Its not meant to be.

One day, you'll meet someone who makes your world turn upside down. Makes you feel like the most important person on this earth. Makes you feel MORE than worth the effort. And you'll forget what it was like before that person.
